Default Re: Your opinion - Most overhyped cigar line?

For me, "overhyped" has to do with lots of people singing something's praises, and when you try it, it disappoints. Not so much with advertising, since that's part of the deal; although the marketing on some cigars ranges from annoying to disgusting.

And only each of us can judge for ourselves the level of "hype" we perceive, against the effective outcome when we sample the product.

As for me, I didn't bash anything nor anyone. I mentioned Ilusione because it is a brand about which I had heard only praise, yet the times I have tried it, it has sorely disappointed. That's the long and the short of it.

If a thread asks for personal opinions and I have something to say, I'm going to say it as my opinion.

Agreed, which is why I'd have to say Opus. They're just barely above a yardgar/dog rocket IMHO yet everyone seems to think they're the Second Coming and they're priced to match that rep. Don't get it
